Need recommendations on a certain genre of horror
Hello, I just registered here, because I love horror movies and like to discuss them, but primarily because I need help on finding some interesting movies of a particular genre.
Now, I am not exactly sure of the genre's name, but I know it simply as "survival horror". Now, it's not as simple as that. So let me explain.
I am searching for movies which, in one or more (preferably more) ways are similar to any of the following:
-The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (The first (from 1974 or 76 I think), and the two new ones from 2003 and 2006)
-Wrong Turn 1 & 2
-The Hills Have Eyes 1 & 2 (The two new ones from 2006 and 2007)
-Wolf Creek
...And a little bit Rest Stop (though that is one strange movie, it reminded me, in many ways, a lot of the TCM style)
What *I* mean by this "survival horror" genre, is the kind of movie where the victim(s) are being hunted in the middle of nowhere, by one or more hostile humans/creatures/whatever. The point is, there is no mystery whatsoever, to who the killer is; the viewer might even have seen his face, and heard his voice. But that still doesn't change the fact that the victim is in danger, and that he can either choose to run or fight; he just needs to get out of this alive. Thereby, survival horror.
And speaking of survival films, I am *not* speaking of zombie films, which, when you think about it, also *is* survival, like e.g. Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead. PLEASE. Let it be just somewhat realistic. I like the idea of inbred, deformed cannibals, or, in general, just the whole outback-pscyho concept. But I don't like it when it actually is a so-called "monster movie" or "supernatural movie". The killer should have some human resemblance, something you can relate to. So, if you're going to recommend some movie, please take that into account.
So, I think at least some of you are getting a picture of where I'm going at, what kind of horror movie I like...
If you have read of all this, and can think of a movie (or more) that is similar to some of the aforementioned, or a movie that can fill these criterias, then please, speak up! :)
And, not to be rude, arrogant, or anything, but I would just like to make it clear (as I have tried getting recommendations elsewhere online): I am not asking for your personal likings of films or genres, but what you think with your knowledge of horror films, could satisfy these criterias.
I thank you very much for your time!
